The Rice Genetics Collection of past symposia and other selected literature contains nearly 4,400 pages of searchable information on rice genetics and cytogenetics published by the IRRI and its partners since 1964. In addition to the five genetics symposia held at 5-year intervals since 1985, the collection contains classic publications that kicked off significant reporting on these subjects in the early 1960s. This collection is a comprehensive and historical documentation on the subject of rice genetics, spanning 45 years of research and scholarly work.Held in 2005 and published two years later, Rice Genetics V contains 23 chapters from various contributors on topics dealing with rice genetic research, including rice as a model genome for cereal research, structural genomics and resources, developmental biology and gene regulation, applied genetics, and functional genomics and rice improvement. A brief overview of the past five Rice Genetics symposia, spanning the years 1985-2005, is fittingly included at the end.Contents: Rice — A Model Genome for Cereal Research:Rice as a Reference Genome and More (R L Phillips et al.)Annotation of the Rice Genome (S Ouyang et al.)Structural Genomics and Resources:Analysis of Oligo Hybridization Properties by High-Resolution Tiling Microarrays in Rice (X Wang et al.)Analysis of Genome Sequences from the Maternal and Paternal Parents of an Elite Rich Hybrid (J Yu et al.)Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation:T-DNA Tagging for Developmental Biology (G An et al.)Molecular Signaling in Disease Resistance of Rice (K Shimamoto et al.)Applied Genetics:QTLs in Rice Breeding: Examples for Abiotic Stresses (D J Mackill et al.)From Gene to Adaptation in Rice (K Onishi & Y Sano)Functional Genomics and Rice Improvement:Functional Genomics for Gene Discovery in Abiotic Stress Response and Tolerance (K Shinozaki & K Yamaguchi-Shinozaki)Rice: An Emerging Model for Plant Systems Biology (A von Zychlinski et al.)and other papersReadership: Rice scientists/researchers, crop science specialists, and agriculture professionals and students.
